Description

It is impossible to use new HTML5 input types for forms with the tags currently available in FreeMarker.

=> For example, I want to use the new email input type in order to have the following HTML code :

<input type="email" name="testInput">.

=> If I use the textfield tag, which is the only one I can use for this purpose, I always have the type text in the HTML result code.

test.ftl

<@s.textfield type="email" name="testInput" />

The HTML result is always :

<input type="text" name="testInput">
